47 C.F.R. Section 64.901 requires
carriers to separate their regulated costs from nonregulated costs
using the attributable cost method of cost allocation, per the
principles described in Section 64.901. 47 C.F.R. Section 64.903(a)
requires LECs with annual operating revenues equal to or above the
indexed revenue threshold as defined in 47 C.F.R. 32.9000 to file a
cost allocation manual (CAM) containing the information specified
in Section 64.903(a)(1)-(6). 47 C.F.R. Section 64.903(b) requires
that carriers update their CAMs at least annually, except changes
to the cost apportionment table and the description of time
reporting procedures must be filed at time of implementation. The
decrease is due to an Order , FCC 08-12, which granted numerous
carriers forbearance from rule compliance.
